Major Conundrums and Possible Solutions in DeFi Insurance
International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper empirically explores the early development of insurance projects in the decentralised finance (DeFi) industry, which is based on disruptive technologies like blockchain and smart contracts. A brief history of DeFi is narrated, stressing four risks of DeFi (volatility risk, cyberattack risk, liquidity risk, and regulation risk) and ...

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many real‐world systems have performance degradation when operating in extreme environments. While previous research often focuses on system failures under specific stress conditions, there remain critical gaps in understanding and minimizing risks associated with systems operating in a wide range of extreme conditions.

Lee Carter mortality forecasting: application to the Italian population [PDF]
, 2005 In this paper we investigate the feasibility of using the Lee-Carter methodology to construct mortality forecasts for the Italian population. We fit the model to the matrix of Italian death rates for each gender from 1950 to 2000. A time-varying index of

Climate Change and Insurance: Embracing Resilience for Private Market Survival
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Private insurance is a major mechanism for managing natural disaster risk in the U.S. Public programs cannot generate sufficient capital to provide adequate protection to homes and businesses. Our literature review indicates that disaster impacts are increasing because of climate change and continuing development in high‐risk areas, which is ...

Stochastic Interest Model Based on Compound Poisson Process and Applications in Actuarial Science
, 2017 Considering stochastic behavior of interest rates in financial market, we construct a new class of interest models based on compound Poisson process. Different from the references, this paper describes the randomness of interest rates by modeling the ...

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract It is not uncommon that original aspirations of social policy go astray during implementation. Issues that are the focus of social policy are often tied to various competing social, political, and value positions, making them unfailingly ‘wicked’ and rendering the design and implementation of solutions inherently challenging.

Some positive dependence notions, with applications in actuarial sciences. [PDF]
The paper is devoted to the study of several notions of positive dependence among risks, namely association, linear positive quadrant dependence, positive orthant dependence and conditional increasingness in sequence.
